This post provides comprehensive information about the weather in Dubai during this month, including the average air temperature and sea temperature. Additionally, you’ll discover practical tips on what to pack and exciting activities to enjoy during your visit.
October is an ideal month to visit Dubai, as the excessive summer heat is now behind us and gives way to a pleasantly mild climate, perfect for relaxing on the beautiful beaches overlooking the Gulf and taking a dip in the crystalline sea. It is also an excellent time to fully enjoy various desert activities, such as balloon flights and Dubai Desert Safaris, as well as exploring the city’s captivating attractions, exclusive restaurants, and clubs, without the crowds of other months.
Rates in Dubai in October are still affordable, making it the last month to enjoy a sumptuous and luxurious holiday at prices that suit most budgets. You’ll have the opportunity to book a fabulous hotel overlooking the iconic Burj Khalifa or a wonderful villa with a pool in Dubai at very reasonable prices. But, be sure to act quickly, as from November onwards, the high season begins, and prices will skyrocket!
Dubai Weather in October
October is a great month to visit Dubai: summer is ending and temperatures are becoming much more pleasant.
Do not expect autumn weather: in Dubai in October the sun continues to shine, the probability of rain is practically non-existent, and the temperatures are high enough to be able to sunbathe on the beach and splash in the sea.
Temperatures are warm, but not as excessive as the summer ones, so October is a great month for outdoor activities, such as jet ski or speedboat rides that can be done from Dubai Marina or quad adventures in the desert.
Dubai’s average UV index in October is 8, which means it is very high and it is recommended to protect the skin and eyes from direct sun exposure. In some days, temperatures can well exceed 40°C, and there is a real risk of sunstroke. When traveling to the UAE it is always recommended to have good travel insurance.
In October in Dubai the sun rises around 6.15 AM and sets around 5.50 PM.
Dubai Temperature in October
Dubai’s average temperature in October is 30 °C (86 °F) and typically fluctuates between a minimum temperature of 24 °C (75 °F) and a maximum temperature of 35 °C (96 °F).
In Dubai and the rest of the UAE, the air temperature in October is rather mild, with peaks that can exceed 40 °C, especially in the desert.
The evenings are pleasantly cool, thanks to the breezes that blow from the ocean and during the day the temperature is ideal for enjoying the many attractions of Dubai to the fullest.
Dubai Sea Temperature in October
Dubai’s average sea water temperature in October is 30 °C (86 °F).
The sea water temperature in October is great for getting a nice splash in the crystal clear waters of the Persian Gulf!
This is a great month for a day trip to the East Coast of the UAE in the Fujairah area, one of the best for snorkeling and diving.
What to pack for a trip to Dubai in October?
Even though it’s October, it’s still summer in Dubai!
So, leave your umbrella at home, and bring your best summer clothes with you.
Remember to bring good sunscreen, a hat, your favorite pair of sunglasses, and some long-sleeved clothing that may be useful to protect you from the scorching sun (for example, on desert safaris) or should you ever feel cool (in shopping malls or in the evening).
My advice is to pack something more elegant as well, as it may come in handy to fully enjoy the vibrant Dubai lifestyle, with its exclusive clubs and restaurants, such as those of the Burj Al Arab.
Last but not least, don’t forget your swimsuit! If this is your first time coming to Dubai, you may find it useful to read this guide to the Dubai Dress Code.
